IT Staff Aug (ITSA) • $90M Management Consulting vehicle
DMS state term contracts fund application, cloud, and data projects across Florida government. We own defined scopes—DevOps and CI/CD, cloud architecture, and secure data platforms—so primes and agencies get production-ready systems with minimal oversight.
FDOT • DOH • DCF • Division of Emergency Management
Departments like Health, Transportation, Children & Families, and Emergency Management are retiring spreadsheets and legacy tools. We replace manual workflows with automated reporting, audit-ready records, and dashboards that keep leadership informed in real time.
NMSDC network • SBDC partnerships • Local MBE programs
Florida’s SBDC Network and prime contractor diversity programs actively connect MBEs to state and local work. We pair MBE participation with disciplined delivery—clear scopes, tight governance, and systems that make tracking vendor performance and diversity outcomes easier for agencies.
DMS and agency CIOs are modernizing across these priority areas. We align our delivery to each.
